Leakage current in logic circuitry is managed by coupling and decoupling the voltage potentials of the power supply from circuitry with large high leakage devices. Driver circuits comprise a low leakage logic path for holding logic states of the output. A high leakage logic path in parallel with the low leakage logic path is used to assert each logic state in the forward direction from input to output. The large output device in each high leakage path that enhances the current drive of a logic state on the output are leakage stress relieved by allowing their drive inputs to collapse after the output logic state has been asserted. The high leakage logic paths employ multiple stages with collapsing logic states that are generated in response to asserted logic states on the output and logic states of the low leakage logic path thus reducing the device sizes needed to control leakage.

A current driver circuit has a current driver and a current compensation circuit. The current driver has a current source transistor connected to a power source potential level, while it is coupled to a pair of transmission lines. The current compensation circuit is coupled to the output side of the current source transistor for the compensation of an output current from the current driver in response to a common mode potential of the pair of transmission lines.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for a bi-direction interface and communication link are described. More particularly, an input/output block is formed with a digitally controlled impedance output driver output coupled at an input/output node to an input terminal of a differential amplifier. Another terminal of the differential amplifier is used for inputting a reference voltage. As the digitally controlled impedance output buffer may be adjusted for impedance matching with transmission line impedance, no parallel terminating resistance is needed. Accordingly, two such input/output blocks may be coupled to form a bi-directional communication link with the advantage of an absence of parallel termination resistance at inputs to such input/output blocks.
